NNPCL Resumes Crude Oil Production In Awoba Field, First Time Since 2021
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) and its Joint Venture partner in the Awoba Unit Field, Newcross Exploration and Production Ltd have resumed production of crude oil in Awoba Field, River State, for the first time since 2021.
Olufemi Soneye, the spokesperson for the NNPC, made this disclosure in a statement yesterday.
The statement noted that the Awoba field last produced oil for the Bonny Terminal in 2021 and was ultimately shut down in February 2022 due to problems with evacuation and crude oil theft.
Soneye mentioned that since the reactivation of the Awoba Field by NNPC Ltd and its partners on April 13, 2024, the field’s production has averaged 8,000 barrels per day.
The field is anticipated to reach a steady output of 12,000 barrels per day once fully ramped up within 30 days.
Soneye said Awoba is also expected to significantly boost gas supply to the power sector and other gas-based industries.
The Awoba Unit, which straddles OMLs 18 and 24 is located in the mangrove swamp south of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Both OML 18 and OML 24 assets are under the management of the NNPC Upstream Investment Management Services (NUIMS).

Edo guber: LP’s Akpata remains a front runner, set to capture Edo
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Less than twenty-four hours to the start of voting in Saturday’s governorship poll in Edo State, a rash of fake news has broken out.
Leading parties in the election have had their fair shares of fake news either indicating the withdrawal of their candidates or disqualification by a Magistrate Court or Supreme Court.
For instance, Olumide Akpata of LP was said to have withdrawn from the race and thrown his support for Asue Ighodalo in a statement that read smoothly and appeared convincing.
THE CONCLAVE sent the statement to Akpata via WhatsApp for confirmed.
He responded by sending the same statement with FAKE NEWS boldly stamped on it.
He said he was set for victory at the poll.
There was also a news flash about the Supreme Court disqualifying Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, with a sign off: More details coming….
A Magistrate Court in Abuja was also reported to have disqualified Monday Okpebholo of the APC from the poll on account of age falsification.
The APC campaign organisation had swiftly put a lie to the report by deploying the court papers in the circumstance.

Edo governor, Godwin Obaseki, who is the PDP leader in the state, had earlier cried out over alleged plot by the All Progressives Congress to rig the election.
